An Invalid's Reverie

One who has been where I have been
OF old, but never more may be.
One whom l never yet have seen.
And In this world may never see,
Has brought fresh flowers to me.
And, looking at these blossoms bright,
think of other scenes and hours,
And see, with retrospective sight,
Fair cultured blooms and sweet wild
flowers
Abloom In natures bowers.
Mid hedges green l seem to pass.
Where fox-gloves rise and blue-bells ringi
And over d~aisy-dappled grass.
Where buttercups are blossoming,
stray while glad birds sing.
In clusters fair on prickly boughs
The fragrant hawthorn blossom blows;
Through level fields where cattle browse,
The winding, purling river flows,
And slowly seward goes.
l seem to hear the mellow notes
By which we mark the cuckoo's flight,
And hear, from countless feathered Threats,
The warbled lays of sweet delight
That cease not till the night.
Above, around, all things are fair
Or fancy paints them so for me,
Who only sees theseGowers SO rare,
Yet charmed and gladdened, seem to see
Scenes lit by memory.

Books for the Guest Chamber.

volume or two Of poems, some short sto-
ries and interesting travels comprised the
whole, and | found not the least pleasant
part of my visit in those quiet moments
by the window which overlooked the great
old-fashioned garden. Any housekeeper
could spare six or eight books from her
library, and almost any guest would bless
her for the thought \ little workbasket
fully stocked; pen, ink and paper were
ready to hand-the visitor cares nearly
as much for these as for the fresh towels
and extra coverings. The golden rule,
which Is guide to all branches Of good
housekeeping, as to all branches Of all

what we care most for in another's home

Small Feet Of Southern Women.

A lady of medium height may have q
finely shaped foot, such as common ru-
NOR gives to Mrs. Cleveland, but in the
South a No. 81 slipper is not usually des-
ignated as dainty. Probably y is as
large as the term will stand. People
who frequent Southern ball rooms and
summer resorts comment upon the fact
that extremely small feet-feet. encased
in slippers running from No. l TO 2!-
are largely in the majority. Not many
years since this subject was discussed in a
ballroom in Macon, and experts were
able to discover out of eighteen pairs
present and twinkling in the mazes Of the
dance but 3 numbers larger than p, and
in the assembly were damsels who would
have tipped the beam at 135.
This preponderance of small feet in
the South among ladies of high social
standing has been accounted for on many
different theories, the most natural one,
we think, being the explanation that
these ladies do not use their feet with the
freedom and constancy that may be OBJ
served in other sections. They are not
walkers, in the first place. 1t is a rare
thing to find in Southern cities ladies OF
the class described who average two miles
walking per day the year round. Gil
mate and roadways as well as custom are
against pedestrian exercise; the feet are
small because they are not fully develop
ed by use. Of course we speak in gen.
eral sense, because there are families in
which small feet are clearly an inheri-
tance and continue small despite exercise
continuous and severe.

Col. Ingcrsou an Anti-Prohibitionist

4 few days ago Col. Bob IngersOll
sent an old friend very old jug of rare
whiskey. With it are the following lines
in the colonel's well-known chirography:
Il send you some of the most wonder
fol whisky that ever drove the skeleton
from feast or painted Landscapes in the
brain of man. 1t is the mingled souls of
wheat and corn. In it YOU will find the
sunshine and the shadow that chased each
other over the biIlowy fields, the breath
Of June, the carol Of the lark, the dews
of night, the wealth of summer and au-
tumn's rich content, all golden with i'm
prisoned light. Drink it and you will
hear the voice Of men and maidens sing
ing the Harvest Home mingled with
the laughter Of children. Drink it and
you will feel within your blood the star
led dawns, the dreamy, tawny dusks of
many perfect days. For forty years this
liquid JOY has been within the happy
slaves of oak, longing to touch the lips
of man."

The London Spectator tells of some
funny "word-twistings" by nervous inclin-
ed clergymen. "Sorrow may endure for
a ioy," an Irish rector read with the Ut
most feeling; "but night cometh in the
morning." Another divine startled his
congregation by the remark, my breth-
ren, we all know what it is to have half
warmed fish II. c. halfformed wish in
our hearts" This same gentleman spoke
on one occasion of "Kinquering Congs,"
a transposition we can easily correct. OF
two other clergymen, one gave out his
text from "the Colostle to the Epissians," "
while the other read "knee of an idol, -
for "eve of a needle" An Irish country
parson spoke of the "imperfurities" Of
man-it being quite obvious that he could
not make up his mind between ''imper-
fections" and impurities" and ended by
amalgamating the two words into one.
The slips" Of laymen are just as
amusing. "My dear boy" once asked a
master Of a Philistine member Of bis
sixth form, "do YOU mean to say that you
have never heard Of that magnificent
statue of Michael Angelo, by Moses p
And a steady church-goer, addressing
himself to a gentleman who intruded
upon his seat, politely remarked, Pardon
ne, Sir, but | think you are occupewing
my pie" This challenge it Is said broke
the sponger all up.

The Boston T-ulscript forcibly reminds
the public Of one Of its bad ways in the
following: "In heaven, we are told,
there is more JOY over one sinner that re-
penteth than over the niDety-and-nine
who have never gone astray. 1t Is just
the other way here below. There is more
JOY over one righteous man who goes as
tray than the ninety-and-nine thousand
sinners who have kept at it all their lives.
1t Is consoliDg to reflect. however, that
this attention to a good mans life Is an
indirect compliment to goodness.

1t Is related of General Manteufel, the
late German military governor Of Alsace,
who hated all that was French, that he
was once at a public dinner, engaged in
dispute with French diplomat, who
maintained the superiority Of the French
workmen over the artisans Of all other
nations. a thing 20 ugly does not exist
that the skill Of a Frenchman cannot
make it a thing Of beauty" he said. An
gered by the contradiction, the old soldier
pulled hair from his bristly gray NOUS
tache, and, handing it to the Frenchman
said curtly: Let him make a thing Of
beauty out Of that, then, and prove your
claim" The Frenchman took the hair
and sent It in q letter TO a well-known
Partisan jeweler with statement Of the
case and an appeal to his patriotic pride,
giving him no limit Of expense in execut-
ing the order. 4 week later the mail
from Paris brought a neat little box for
the General. 1t was 2 handsome scarf
pin made ike Prussian eagle, that held
in its talons a stiff gray bristle, from
either end Of which dangled a tiny gold
ball. One was inscribed Alsace, the other
Lorraine, and on the eagles perch were
the words: "You hold them but by q
hair."-Leets Eng Mercury.
